Acquiring or investing in a company with unknown code risk
Financial due diligence doesn't tell you if the product you're buying is a maintenance liability waiting to surface.
Independent Code Review & Technical Consulting
Quality and business logic: Trace critical paths in the existing codebase, separation of concerns and test coverage against the behavior the business requires.
Hire TK Web Services for an independent review of the technology and processes your company already relies on. We examine the agreed scope with your team to distinguish what works, what creates friction and what deserves further investigation.
This is a consulting engagement: findings, specialized advice and decision support—not a commitment to build or replace a system. Any implementation is a separate discussion.
What we review
Quality and business logic: Trace critical paths in the existing codebase, separation of concerns and test coverage against the behavior the business requires.
Security and dependencies: Review access checks, input handling, secrets practices and vulnerable or unsupported packages; flag licensing questions for qualified counsel.
Performance and maintainability: Examine query patterns, resource handling and change risks; document evidence and suggested remediation without altering production code.
When specialized advice helps
Inheriting a codebase from a departing agency or freelancer
You need to know what you're actually taking over before committing budget to the next phase.
Suspected security exposure
Nobody has looked at authentication, input handling or dependency vulnerabilities since the app was first built.
Evaluating a new development vendor's past work
Portfolios and pitches don't tell you how a team actually writes code — the codebase does.
Performance complaints with no clear cause
The application is slow or unstable under load and internal opinions about why don't agree.
Findings and recommendations you can use
Current-state assessment
Written strengths, gaps, risks and evidence within the agreed scope, including assumptions and limits of the review.
Prioritized recommendations
Options ranked by business impact, effort and urgency, with tradeoffs rather than a predetermined rebuild.
Decision walkthrough
Review the findings with your technical team and business stakeholders so responsibilities and next steps are clear.
How the consulting review works
Agree the question and scope
Clarify the business decision, relevant systems, available evidence and team participation before the review starts.
Examine the current approach
Review documentation, configurations and available operational evidence; discuss real workflows with the people who maintain and use them.
Evaluate options
Connect the findings with your constraints, compare realistic alternatives and identify what can remain unchanged.
Present recommendations
Deliver the assessment and walk through priorities, open questions and a practical path your team can choose to follow.
Advice that respects your existing investment
Preserve what works
A review can validate existing choices. Replacement and additional software are not the default answer.
Evidence with context
Recommendations account for your operating needs, team capacity and the information actually available.
Your team remains in control
Consulting supports your decisions without taking over development or requiring an implementation contract.
